image bars A & B are stopping volume & market was knocked sideways, I did see (even in real time) bar C as stopping volume (that's me ) the first ND & upthrust was a perfect wyckoff entry as it was a retest, but this was not a VSA ...

ok hope you guys didn't miss this lil baby, honestly for me it was more of a Wyckoff based trade than VSA... image

Hey Teb, in your charts you keep highlighting "Gotcha bars", how important these bars are for you? do you wait for GB to appear (in downtrend) before you take a short trade?
